OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 13, i il'is.

Application filed May 9, 1916. Serial No. 96,383.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Anon L. DORMAN, a citizenof the United States, residing at Cuba, in the county of Republic andState of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements inOil-Burners, of Which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved oil burner for vaporizing and burningcrude and other oils, the object of the invention being to provide animproved burner of this type Which is simple in construction, whichellccts a thorough combustion of the oil, producing little or no soot,gas, or smell, which requires but little attention, is extremely durableand is not likely to get out of order.

The invention consists in the features of construction, combination, andarrangement of devices, hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figu my invention.

Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of the same on a larger scale.

Fig. 3 is a detail transverse sectional view on the plane indicated bythe line 33 of Fig. 2.

An oil feed pipe 1 leads from a gravity feed oil tank 2 and said oilfeed pipe is provided With a cut-off valve 3. A pair of burners 4 arehere shown as connected to the oil feed pipe. A valve 3 is provided foreach burner as Will be understood. Each burner comprises a length ofpipe, preferably galvanized iron, and of suitable size and is bent toform an arched portion 5, an intake arm 6, and a terminal, horizontallyarranged burner arm 7 Said burner arm has a plug 8 in its outer end andis provided in its upper side at a suitable distance from its outer endWith a small opening 9 for the escape of the gas or vapor. In practice,this opening is preferably one-forty-seeond of an inch in diameter.

A starting orgenerating pan 10 is sus-v pended from each burner arm,'-ata, point below the opening 9. The upper portion of Gopies of this patentmay be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the re 1 is anelevation of an oil burner, constructed and arranged 1n accordance With7 the arched vaporizing burner, supports a flame spreader 11 which issuspended therefrom and is arranged above the opening 9. I

To start the burner in operation, the valve 3 is first opened to causeoil to drop from the opening 9 into the pan 10. When a small quantity ofoil is thus accumulated in the pan, the valve 3 is then closed and theoil in the pan ignited. The flame thus generated, heats the archedportion of the burner pipe to a high degree. The valve 3 is thenreopened, thus admitting oil to the heated burner pipe and the oil as itpasses through the burner pipe is converted into vapor andis dischargedfrom the opening 9. The flame produced by the burning of the gas orvapor, strikes the spreader and is spread thereby and hence, all partsof the burner pipe are kept heated and the burner may be kept incontinuous operation as long as desired, and according to the quantityof oil in the tank.

The burner may be arranged in the fire box of a cook stove and used forcooking purposes or may be arranged in a heating stove ii desired, andmay be used for heating purposes.

I-Iaving described the invention, What is claimed is:

An oil burner comprising a reservoir, an oil feed pipe leading from thereservoir, a plurality of burner pipes each connected directly to andleading from said oil feed pipe, each of said burner pipes having avalve, and alsohaving an arch vaporizing portion and aterminal burnerarm below said vaporizing portion, said arm being closed at its outerend and being provided in its upper side With aminute gas escapeopening, a gas spreader extending from the arched portion of each burnerpipe and a priming pan suspended "from the arm of each burner pipe andarranged under the said opening thereof.

In testimony whereof I aliiX my signature.
